My BrowHaus Experience

If you catch me staring at your face, I am probably looking at your eyebrows and studying them. I'm obsessed about eyebrows. For me, you can have the most basic make up but if your eyebrows are neat, you'll still look made up.

I've been hearing raves about BrowHaus since I came to know it. BrowHaus is a one-stop grooming salon that uses blueprint system which is a precise system designed to create the perfect brow. The system employs a grid technology to structure a brow of perfect form and symmetry.  I was curious about their services like their brow construction which is normally called as threading. However the price was quite steep. It was Php 598 for classic threading where you can get it at Php100+ in other beauty salons.

So when a deal for Brow Construction was sold by one of the groupon sites, I immediately asked the boyfriend to buy it for me because the deal was exclusive to Citibank credit card holders. Finally, I was gonna try it!

Brow Resurrection - one of BrowHaus' signature services

My eyebrows are not exactly that bad which I thought so. They are groomed every once in a while - shaven or threading as I pleased. But one thing I noticed is they don't have arches for that perfect eyebrow look. 

I booked an appointment with BrowHaus Greenbelt 5 since it's near my office. I got there before my 7pm appointment and I didn't wait that long to be called. My eyebrow technican or eyebrow architect lead me to small room and explained the process to be done. She said that my brows are straight. Oh dear. She mapped my eyebrows to check the  inner brow, the peak, and the tail and to determine the perfect eyebrow shape for my face. She suggested that for my face the perfect arches are the soft ones.

Then, the brow construction began. She put on some powder first to protect the skin and probably ease the pain. It felt like normal eyebrow threading but more detailed. I sensed that the eyebrow technican is working meticulously in creating the really perfect brows for me. I actually had to help her during the process by pulling my skin in the eyelid for her to pull the hair easily and prevent from making a cut. The whole process wasn't painless at all as I expected but I must say it's worth it. Oh the things we do for vanity!

My brow technician advised that I should let the hair grow thicker in my inner brow to have a more defined eyebrows. After the whole threading process, a soothing cream was spread in my brow area to ease the redness and pain.

I am happy with the results! I am definitely lovin' my eyebrows. I think it really brightened up my face and made my eyebrow area more defined and groomed. To add with, I am also pleased with the service provided by the BrowHaus staff. I will try to maintain my brows but if anything goes out of hand, I know BrowHaus will come to my rescue. Hmmm and I'm getting curious about their Color Tweak to boost the eyebrow color to soften or darken thm.

Groupons galore

Groupon (group coupon) craze finally hits Manila! And it wasn’t that long until I found myself checking groupon sites every single day at work haha. I bet you do too!

Group buying, as you probably know, is also called as collective buying where goods and services are sold at discounted prices such that a number of buyers would make the purchase.

So far, they are doing me good by letting me save some bucks on my purchases. Here are my buys lately.

1. Our first groupon buy is from Pakyaw. Remember our Corregidor day tour? Yes, we got that deal through group buying. It wasn’t bad at all, Php 998/person for a day tour which consisted of Manila-Corregidor transfers, buffet lunch, and a guided tour. It’s original price was Php 2150/person.

2. Freska set meal for two from Ensogo. Perfect for usual weekday dinner dates with Erick. Remind me to contact customer service because I still can’t print my vouchers.

3. Waxing services at Lay Bare Waxing Salon from Buyanihan which I will be using in lieu of my upcoming Bora trip =D

4. Lunch or dinner buffet at Manila Pavilion from Ensogo. Yum yum , I can’t wait to raid the dessert table with my favorite chocolate donut. Heaven!

5. Food and drinks at Cheesecake Etc from MetroDeal. Got sweet-tooth? I do! I’m excited to use this one.

I almost bought the Bellaroca 3D/2N stay sold at Deal Grocer. Whew, good thing I didn’t because it was still expensive. If there was one coupon I regretted not buying, it would be the concert tickets for the Switchfoot concert from Beeconomic. Boo.

At the moment, these are my groupon buys. If I would let impulsiveness rule over me, I probably would have brought more and save nothing. There were lots of deals I’ve let passed but with new and more exciting deals coming more each day, I’m not sure if I could say no to groupon buying.

How about you? What’s your best groupon deal by far?
